Ghost Hunting at the Père Lachaise Cemetery

With all my trips to Paris, I had never made it to the expansive Père Lachaise cemetery, but I was determined to see it for the first time. Our first attempt was thwarted after a 45-minute subway ride – the cemetery was closed due to high winds – and so we were left catching an Uber against the sealed walls and making other plans. The next day, we arrived to find that the wind had subsided and we were able to wander the tombs in peace.

I was in awe of the size of this cemetery, and by the beauty of each crypt, ever mindful of the countless stories behind every facade. Come along and wander with me…

You want me to look in a crypt? Not sure about that one.

A ray of light, shining on a tomb

And then I cried…Especially after reading this note…

The one and only Edith <3

Quite a tomb!

Thanks for coming along! Until our next wander together…

You don’t need to do as much as you think, just let the flowers, and subsequently, nature, tell you what’s next. I interpret it as a metaphor for life: trust in the process, allow the natural order of things to guide you, and find the beauty in the imperfections.” 🌹🌺🌸💐🌼 Some of my thoughts on taking a lesson in Ikebana - read the rest of the post on She’s So Bright 👉🏻link in my profile👈🏻
